These are the issues we need to resolve before I can roll RC2, which is likely to become the final release:

Okay, done.
- Fix remaining broken links
I'll work on this again.

What do you recommend here? I don't want to add all the configuration variables to the table under step five, because there are too many. Would it be enough to add the option -sNO_COMPRESSION=1, with a description of the option and a link to http://boost-consulting.com/boost/libs/iostreams/doc/index.html?path=7 ? One consideration is that on UNIX systems which don't have bzip2 and zlib installed, or which have them installed in non-standard places, or which use really old versions of these libraries, Boost won't build unless some affirmative action is taken; the easiest remedy is to define NO_COMPRESSION. So maybe this option needs to be more prominent than just another entry in the table. Jonathan
